Abstract

Yokenella regensburgei, an environmental organism, is an emerging pathogen in patients chiefly with immune suppression. We report the draft genome of Y. regensburgei, strain UU2206353, isolated from the urinary tract of an immunocompetent individual. The assembled genome consisted of 4,669,536 bp distributed over 20 contigs with 4,283 protein-coding genes.

Keywords: AmpC; UTI; WGS; Yokenella.
